Dear Developers who play music … would you consider adding a haptic metronome to the watch to keep a constant beat for musicians as we play gigs?
There is some Apple sample code for a metronome:

...which could be adapted.
Forum user @rnodern asked a more advanced version of your question:

..but they haven't answered with any progress, so I don't know how serious they are.
As I said on that thread, I guess it is technically possible, but I wonder if it will work in practice?
I thought Apple Watch haptics might help with navigation on the motorbike, but in practice I rarely notice the buzzes.
So I wonder if it will be noticeable enough to follow, while playing an instrument (or in a band).
The thing is Apple doesn't take unsolicited requests for ideas or features for the likelihood of being sued later by some patent troll. But you can take a shot via the mac Feedback app.
I don't think @AndreaMusic is suggesting that Apple should create this app, they are just asking if this is an app that a developer could write?
